Boston Celtics wing and former Edgewater high school guard Marquis Daniels stirred quite a buzz with an amazing basket during a mostly quiet NBA preseason game Friday night.

Daniels connected on a halfcourt basket, shooting over Toronto Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan, as the buzzer sounded at the end of the first quarter giving the Boston Celtics a 29-20 edge. The Celtics ultimately defeated the Raptors 117-112.

Daniels told me via text message that he does practice halfcourt shots from time to time and the hard work certainly paid off.

Halfcourt shots are always entertaining to watch and considering the level of difficulty to actually make one, wouldn’t it be nice if these shots were worth, say, four points instead of three?
